Preparing Job Specification

Before you register your vacancy, it's wise to invest some time evaluating just what it is you're after. The job specification is a tailored description of the vacancy, including the responsibilities and goals of the post-holder.

The person specification is a profile of the person you consider best fits the bill. Job and person specifications also help candidates. It will help to attract those who might not otherwise apply and narrow the field by hopefully excluding those who don't fit the bill or who don't even like the sound of the job.
